John Seckel Offers Tips for Mindful Eating

1. TIPS FOR
MINDFUL
EATING
JOHN SECKEL PRESENTS

2. LEAVE YOUR
DEVICES
ALONE
WHILE YOU ARE EATING,
YOU DO NOT NEED TO BE
ON YOUR PHONE, IPAD
OR COMPUTER. IF YOU
ARE WRITING AN EMAIL
WHILE YOU EAT YOUR
LUNCH, YOU CANNOT BE
MINDFUL OF THE FOOD
YOU ARE PUTTING IN
YOUR MOUTH.
IT IS IMPORTANT TO
TAKE TIME OUT OF THE
DAY FOR YOUR MEALS.
LEAVE YOUR PHONE IN
ANOTHER ROOM WHILE
YOU EAT IN ORDER TO
PREVENT YOU FROM
TEXTING, EMAILING OR
SCROLLING THROUGH
INSTAGRAM!

3. EAT LIKE A
FOOD
CRITIC
FOOD CRITICS NOTICE EVERY
SINGLE THING ABOUT THE
FOOD. YOU SHOULD DO THE
SAME! BY FOCUSING ON THE
FOOD IN FRONT OF YOU, YOU
WILL BE PRACTICING MINDFUL
EATING. IT IS ESPECIALLY FUN TO
EMPLOY THIS TACTIC WHEN
EATING OUT AND TRYING TO
IDENTIFY THE INGREDIENTS OF A
DISH THAT YOU DID NOT COOK
YOURSELF.

4. AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE, SIT
DOWN AT A TABLE TO EAT.
FORMALIZING YOUR DINING
EXPERIENCE HELPS DRAW
YOUR ATTENTION TO YOUR
FOOD AND YOUR EATING
HABITS AND AWAY FROM
DISTRACTIONS.
IF YOUR SCHEDULE DOES
NOT ALLOW YOU TO SIT
DOWN FOR EVERY MEAL AT
A TABLE, START BY DOING
IT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.
THIS WILL GET YOU IN THE
HABIT OF SITTING DOWN TO
EAT AND CAUSE YOU TO DO
IT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.
